Maden Gopal - 18/10-12 Ray St Turramurra

Professional and dedicated

Maria managed the recent sale of our Pymble home at a time when selling results in the market were inconsistent. Maria managed the process in a professional, warm and positive manner and always demonstrated care, enthusiasm and respect for our property. Knowing that Maria and her selling partner Peter were managing all inspections, buyer enquiries and communications personally, gave us the confidence that the process was in well-informed and experienced hands. We would not hesitate to work with Maria again.

Couldn’t be happier

Maria has been a true professional from our first meeting. She has a wealth of experience and is always happy to assist with contacts and ways to improve the look of the property. With her help I achieved more than I had ever expected for my property and it was done without pressure and with a tonne of support. Both Maria and Peter will always be my first port of call if I sell or buy a property again.

Great team and fabulous service.

Selling our family home of 27years was not an easy decision. However, our choice to sell with Maria and Peter at Century 21 Turramurra made the process an easy one. They work as a strong team and have the vendors interest at heart the entire time. They are extremely knowledgeable about the area and the market.

Great communication and support

Selling your home is never an easy process. But working with Maria McBain and Peter Brack made this exercise smooth and manageable. Their experience and professionalism was clearly evident from the first meeting until the conclusion of the sale. We had complete confidence in their advice while also knowing that it was our opinion that was paramount. Regular and effortless communication via phone and email kept us well-informed while they were always available for questions, no matter how small. Not only that, they were both fun to work with - a real bonus during a potentially stressful task. Finally, we were very happy with the price achieved for our property, especially in a tricky market. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the services and expertise of Maria and Peter to anyone thinking of selling their home.

Lee & Jim Jenkins - 5 Wambool Street Turramurra

Very professional. Hard working to ensure good presentation of property.

Maria worked diligently and professionally during the sale campaign to ensure my property was well presented to the widest number of prospective purchasers. She kept me fully informed of comparable sales and other developments in the property market in my area and their relevance to the sale campaign. Maria followed up each inquiry and prospect while keeping me fully informed . As a result, she succeeded in achieving an acceptable price in a falling market.

Great selling experience

Jane Reynolds & Robert Jackson - 66A Clarke Rd Hornsby

We first heard about Maria and Peter after their record sale of a property around the corner from us.

Maria and Peter are very genuine and direct and were able to clearly explain how they work to achieve the best possible price.

Selling your home is not something easy - it was very emotional and quite stressful for us and having Maria and Peter on our team was the right decision we made when it came to selling our much loved home.

They are very likeable, both by us and buyers, which attracted the right buyer to our beautiful home. Maria also has great design skills. She helped us to decorate and style our house for the photo shoot and open days.

They have helped us to achieve our dream by selling our house at the right price. We will highly recommend them to our family, neighbours and friends!

Maria is simply a delight to deal with. Knowledgeable, communicative and ready to assist at a moments notice. Would gladly recommend her to anyone.

Jonene & Craig Petty - 9 Cornwall Ave Turramurra

Intuitive and dependable

After interviewing a number of agents, we chose Maria and her team because their strategy did not include misleading potential buyers, but provided an honest assessment of the likely final cost, and so did not waste their time or ours, especially in the limited COVID restricted inspection windows. Maria is straight forward, practical and insightful, anticipating our needs and helping us maximise the potential of our property. In the end, a very satisfactory result.

Selling a house during covid lockdown was difficult but Maria was with me every step of the way. Maria was a whirlwind of activity when styling our home. She is clearly passionate and has a keen eye for detail. Additional services were utilised upon Maria’s recommendations which saved us time and they did an outstanding job. Her service went above and beyond when in response to my call for help to purchase my next home, Maria assisted with negotiations with a very favourable outcome. Maria always presented professionally and has an open and honest approach with exceptional knowledge of the market trends. Forever grateful we chose her to be our agent.

Girolamo Lampasona - 3/5-7 Eulbertie Ave Warrawee

Selling your home is not something to be flippant about. It is very emotional and quite stressful. Having Maria and Peter on our team was the best decision we made when it came to selling our much loved home. Maria’s personal flair and business acumen certainly put us in the box seat when trying to navigate this unusual (COVID) market. She has all the contacts to make the preparation for sale seem effortless and her keen eye knows no bounds. She is graceful and warm and kept our best interests at heart. She was such a calming influence through out the whole process. Maria and Peter will stop short of nothing to get you the best price possible for your home without any undue stress.

'A GREAT PARTNERSHIP

I was referred to Maria and Peter at Century 21 Turramurra by a good friend and was given immediate confidence after my first meeting with them. Maria was thorough, professional and more importantly had a clear plan about the process and strategy to get my desired price for my property. I was constantly kept in the loop and what struck me was that this business does not take chances or hope for a good result, they have a strategy that engages buyers and they get to a point of engaging with people who have a high motivation to buy. I was so pleased with the service I received from Maria, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a great result in this area.'

Haggy & Kirsten - 55 Yeramba St. Turramurra

'A FANTASTIC SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH.

Pete and Maria are both excellent communicators and were able to clearly articulate to me the whole selling process in the context current climate along with potential opportunities and pitfalls. Pete’s knowledge of the local real estate market was very impressive and was further backed up by his long term residency in Turramurra.

Before and throughout the marketing campaign I was regularly provided with updates and excellent advice about the best procedures and remedial works to maximise the property’s appeal to potential buyers. This advice paid dividends from the very start with very high turnouts for open house and a sale within two weeks at a price that considerably exceeded my expectations.

I have absolutely no qualms about recommending Pete and Maria and would not hesitate to use their services again. Thank you for making the whole selling process that much less stressful and significantly more profitable!’

‘WE HAVE BEEN VERY IMPRESSED BY THE WORK OF MARIA MCBAIN, GARY WARD AND TONY LU OF CENTURY 21 RADAR PROPERTIES DURING THE RECENT SALE OF OUR FAMILY’S HOME DURING THE CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES OF LATE 2020.

All of them have been professional, courteous and have done all they could to facilitate the smooth sale of the property. As a result of their many hours of labour, the property was successfully sold to another family who would treasure the home that have been enjoyed by our family for many years.

Maria, in particular, have listened to our many concerns over many months during the preparation, sale and pre-settlement of the property and addressed all of them in a timely manner. Her pragmatism, sense of style and understanding of the market place have helped us prepare the house for sale in an organised and cost-effective manner. I felt as if Maria was looking after all the aspects of the preparation and the sale as if she was selling her own home

All the tradespeople they have recommended have been very honest and hardworking. We were very impressed.

Gary and Maria worked very well together whilst working with potential buyers and kept us informed with the progress every step of the way.

Tony Lu also offered indispensable assistance to Maria and Gary from time-to-time when required. It was nice to know that Maria and Gary will not hesitate to use all resources at their disposable to facilitate the sale of our property.

Although occasionally we did have some challenges to overcome over the few months, however ultimately we believe we obtained a satisfying and smooth outcome as a result of the agents’ hardwork - especially those of Maria and Gary.

Wishing Mary, Gary and Tony all the best in the years to come - successfully servicing sellers and buyers alike.’

Vendor - North Turramurra

‘Phenomenal Experience. Peter is a confident, down-to-earth and honest man with extensive property knowledge, strong family values and a love of his craft - real estate. Throughout the sale of our home, which happened quickly, Peter held our hand when needed and took our advice when needed. Peter provided us with up-to-date market information, honest feedback on the sales process and allowed us to feel at ease during the tumultuous journey of selling our family home. While it was sad saying goodbye, Peter cultivated confidence and a smooth transition for our new chapter. Peter worked incredibly hard for us and we have impressive results to show for it. Thank you.

Peter’s associate, Maria, was remarkable with organising our property for sale and styling our home for presentation. Maria’s eye for style and attention to detail made our home look more loved and polished than we could have imagined - all while using our own furniture and sentimental items. Maria further cultivated a sense of calm during this process, with her own intimate property knowledge and real estate professionalism. It was an absolute pleasure working with Peter and Maria. An emotional move for our little family, made so much easier with the diligence, care and values that Peter and Maria hold. Thank you again for everything.’

Sarah & Doug Hepburn – 16 Kooloona Cr West Pymble

I found Peter and Maria very reliable and straightforward. Their assessment of the market at a very volatile time was in line with my own research. They did not push for a high cost campaign or extensive presale improvements to the property and kept me fully informed throughout the sale process. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to others.
